Eduard Herrmann (*1989) studied product design at Umprum in Prague. Together with Matěj Coufal, he created products for industrial and craft production, art interventions and exhibition architecture under the Herrmann&Coufal brand (2014-2023). They won numerous awards and exhibited at home and abroad.
Since 2020, he has been researching within the Ph.D. studies at Umprum on issues of sustainability, low tech and reuse within design. In the academic year 2022/23, together with Klára Peloušková, he led the Planet B sustainability and civilizational issues module at the same institution.
Since 2024, he has been part of the Nami Nami studio, which he founded with the architect Klára Koldová. Their work focuses on experimentation, the use of local and sustainable resources, low-tech approaches and alternative materials. In addition to useful objects and spatial interventions, they also focus on the topic of free play in public space under the Nami Play brand.
